The spectacular now

Goggla shares this photo from the New York City Marble Cemetery on Second Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue... the magnolia tree is looking pretty spectacular. As she writes: "Catch it now as I think the flowers will be gone in a couple of days."

These laundry baskets outside the Marble Cemetery have dead chickens in them

An EVG reader shared this rather grisly discovery this morning from outside the New York City Marble Cemetery on Second Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue... inside the baskets are at least two dead chickens as well as an assortment of candy and broken dishes.



One resident on the scene said that this was likely a Santeria ritual, conducted by someone of the Santeria faith, with each chicken representing a curse on someone. (If any occult experts want to chime in...)

The reader who shared the photos said that the NYPD was notified of this discovery.
